Our guide, Felicia, was excellent. We got great information about the building itself and the art. We got so much out of the tour - much more than if we’d just visited the museum.

Avi was incredible, I really enjoyed his stories and with how much detail he was able to provide. We went through so much art history in such a short time, but left with the best combination of unique stories and useful information.

We were excited to tour Musée d'Orsay and see the famous Renaissance paintings on exhibit at the museum. Not only did our guided tour by Johnny provide easy access, but we learned some fascinating facts about the museum and the artists' works. Johnny did a wonderful job guiding 20 of us through a crowded museum - not sure we could have done it on our own!

It was beautiful. I loved that the people of France made a train station into a museum. Bravo Paris!

Beautiful museum both architecturally and artistically. Seeing this museum with Ari ( our guide) made the experience even more memorable. His passion, knowledge, sensitivity to his group and sense of humor was first class
